First scientific study on driver fatigue released
The De Soto division of Chrysler Corp led by Dr. A S Church completed the earliest scientific test of driver fatigue. The study compared reactions of a 1929 car from Florida with a modern car on the same route, finding greater insecurity and anxiety in drivers of the older machine due to mechanical unreliability.
